Well I ran my LSE for the 1st time last weekend and ran 3 15.3s, a15.4,and a 15.500, the best being a 15.327@91.92mph. I had to get use to using the SST and of course practice the launch. I got the best numbers once I got a launch technique down and the 60's got into the high 2.2s. Unfortunately once I got my launch in place, didn't take long, I started to get my SST system out of wack. So I left the track knowing I left my best time to come. I ran again this weekend hoping to hit a good launch and SST together for possibly a 15.2 or I figured a high 15.1 wasn't out of the question. To my surprize right after arriving with a hot car I ran my best run.
RT... .233
60'... 2.269
330... 6.374
1/8... 9.739
MPH... 73.36
1000'... 12.619
1/4... 15.041
MPH... 93.21
The rest of the night I hit 15.1s 3 times with 60's at 2.265, 2.286, and 2.359. That last 60' I screwed up my chance for a 14.99 as even with the wheel spin I still caught a 15.166. I even had a 15.215 run with a bad SST 1-2 early shift, that run had my best 60' at 2.262. So I ran better than expected and still have my 20s on. My new goal is to hit a 14.99 with the 20s and with a good launch and a little time finding the right shift points, its right there. Once that is done I will be getting a tune for hopefully a 14.8. Last I will pull the 20s to see what she can do with a little less rolling weight. rocket 5979 was there also and caught my last run on video. Its not the best run and is the worst 60' of the night, she broke them free more than normal, I was trying to launch a little harder. Didn't work. Enjoy the video, more to come. http://media.putfile.com/Jasons-02-LS8--GLD-4-28-06
